Admete solida
species of mollusc
Admete solida is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Description
The shell grows to a length of 36 mm, its diameter 22 mm.
(Described as Admete regina) The large, solid shell is white, with a coffee-colored periostracum. It typically comprises five or more whorls, the apex in every case being more or less eroded.
The spiral sculpture consists of fine, evenly channeled grooves with flattened or even slightly concave wider interspaces. These grooves cover the whole shell except a narrow gap between the suture and the shoulder of the whorls. Approximately two grooves, along with an interspace, span a single millimeter. The axial sculpture consists of a few faint often more or less obsolete, irregular, low plications, not quite reaching the middle of the whorl.
The suture is very deep but not channeled The whorls themselves possess a moderate curvature. The base of the shell is attenuated, with a narrow, deep umbilical perforation.

Why this record matters
“Admete solida” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Admete, solida and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3170935. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
